Prue was the first to burst through her sisters' door to find her sitting up in her bed just shaking. She felt Pipers presence right behind her.

"Phoebe its ok we're right here." Prue reached out to grab her baby sister but to her surprise Phoebe pulled away.

"Get away from me. I can't do this again. I won't."

"Phoebe. It's ok sweetie Prue and I are right here." Piper went to place her hand on Phoebe shoulder but her sister pulled away.

"No, not again. I won't do this. I won't. I'll run. I'll find somewhere safe till I find the answer." Phoebe didn't even acknowledge her sisters in her room now. She moved around grabbing clothes and tossing them on the bed. "Shower. Dress. Book of Shadows." She was in a daze. If she ignored her sisters it wouldn't be real she wouldn't go through it again. "Leo he can help. Maybe. He has to I can't do this."

Prue watched as Phoebe moved about her room in a small frenzy. She was babbling to herself not making any sense what so ever. She turned to find Piper doing the same. Both were wondering what was going on.

"Piper lets leave her be a bit." Prue suggested as she started out of her sisters room though still keeping an eye on her

"Prue. Are you nuts?" Piper was a little more then shocked at her sisters' suggestion.

"No. Look she cringes at our touch and I get the feeling she either doesn't know we are here or she is ignoring the fact we are." Prue insisted.

"Probably has something to do with last night." Piper mumbled to herself. Wishing that her sisters would just get along.

She flipped the pages frantically. She knew from last time that they had found nothing in the treasured tome or her ancestors. But she knew there had to be something here to stop this. She was slowly going crazy. And if that was the plan then who ever this demon was, was succeeding.

"I've stayed in her all day. I haven't spoken to any of my sisters since I woke up. Things must have changed. I have to break this loop." But as Phoebe thought everything was fine it wasn't. Events of the day remained the same.

Paige walked up the street spotting two of her younger sister sitting at a table at the bistro. "Prue. Piper."

"Paige hi." Piper waved to her oldest sister.

"We're early." Prue put in.

Piper could see the disappointment on Paige's face. "Phoebe?"

"In the attic. Been there all day." Piper put in. "She woke up this morning.."

"Freaked out. Is the phrase Piper."

"Prue." Piper scolded.

"What? She was. She was ranting about not doing it again and she pulled away from us like we were fire burning her skin." Prue argued her point to both Piper and Paige.

Paige took it all in but was shocked at the way Phoebe was acting. "She seemed fine last night. Any ideas?" though she was older, she was new to the craft and on that she trusted her younger sisters.

"None that she is sharing with us." Prue said.

They chatted a bit more about Phoebe and then turned to plans for the night.

"So Paige meet us at the Manor at 10:30. And hopefully we will have talked some sense into that baby sister of ours."

" If not?" Paige asked wandering what they would do.
"If not, we go to the club without her. We got the tickets we're going." Prue added a she stated her mind.

"Prue you're kidding?" Piper looked in disbelief at her older sister.

"Actually Piper I'm not. Look we have tried to talk to her, tried to get her out of the attic. She won't. She won't tell us what's going on. We can't help her if she won't tell us. And I get the impression she doesn't want to be around us for the same reason."

"Maybe there is more to it Prue." Paige suggested.

"No Paige, it isn't always that simple with her."

"We have to try Prue." Piper pleaded

"I didn't say I wouldn't. But if she doesn't want to come I am not going to force her."

The conversation played out as it had many items. Prue wanted to go with or without Phoebe. The fight from the previous night still fresh on her mind.

Piper playing mediator between Prue and Paige as Paige wanted Prue and Phoebe to work it out.

As they broke from lunch Piper watched her two older sisters make their way to their vehicles.

"Resolutions. That is what is needed here. For two of my sisters to stop fighting." Piper sighed as she made her way back to her own vehicle and headed towards home.

Piper had tried when she got home. "Phoebe if this is about you and Prue last night I think you need to talk about this. At least make some kind of resolution for next year to get along."

Prue went up and tried again. When Paige came over she too went up and tried to reason with Phoebe. She had even gone as far as orbing into the Attic to her baby sister.

"Phoebe."

"No get out. I can't go. I won't. I can't keep seeing it I can't keep living it." Her tears ran freely as she moved away from Paige.

The sun had long since set. She heard her sisters leaving the Manor. But she didn't move. She paced back and forth almost waiting for it to happen again. She knew it would. Even with her hiding out she waited to once again wake up in her own bed. At least this time her heart wouldn't break as she held Prue in her arms.

She waited. She had moved from the attic to the main part of the house, casting a glance now and then at the grandfather clock. She watched as midnight came closer. She waited as the first gong echoed in the empty house. Then another, followed by another. How many would she hear before she knew everything was ok. But as it struck ten she saw the familiar blue and white orbs of their Whitelighter appearing. She looked up and saw his face. She knew it was going to happen again. Either that or it was broken and she would live the rest of her own life without her sisters.

"Phoebe."

"Leo. I'm sorry I couldn't be there."

"They needed you." His voice was with an angry edge she had never heard before. But she knew she couldn't explain it. But she felt something inside her. As she had thought about the day and all the ones before. She had worked it out. There were only two things she hadn't changed. And she knew she would have to go through it again, though she wasn't sure if she would have the strength.

She felt her heart starting to break once again. She needed to be there she should have been there.

"Take me." Was her only words, as Leo took her hand and orbed out to the alley.

It was the same as the times before. She kneeled at Prue's head and took her in her arms as her tears flowed freely. How many more times would she endure this?

She woke again to the same sounds. To the same day. She knew her sisters were down stairs. But she knew what to do. She started the day like all the rest.

She greeted Prue and Piper in the living room. Once again Prue had made reference to her night out with Paige. She didn't want to fight her then. So she let it go with they would talk about it later.

She sat on her bed listening to her new CD from Christmas. Piper would come in about now. She thought as the familiar knock came on her door and Piper emerged. Something about her and Prue getting along, and making a new years resolution.

She made her way to Prue's room and picked up the phone making a lunch date. One she knew Paige would invite Prue and Piper too.

She let everything play out as it should. She knew a long time ago that this loop was different then when Andy was killed. Then it was Tempus resetting time, till Rodriguez killed them all. But this time it was as if the demon was playing with her. To get her to actually try and stop it. But at the same time, driving her mad. Driving her mad for his own insane pleasure. Because she tried once to kill herself, but it started again anyway. She knew the only way out was to beat him at his own game. And she knew tonight she would do that.

She sat on her bed wanting to go downstairs with Prue and Piper. But she couldn't do it. It wasn't the right time. She was going to play everything about this day like it was the first time. And she knew she had the answer. It was in her heart all this time.

Prue waited downstairs till she saw Phoebe emerge from the steps. "Wow you look great sis."

"Thanks." Was all Phoebe said, she still felt some of the words said earlier that day.

"Phoebe." Prue reached out to her sister and pulled into a warm loving hug. "I will always love you."

Phoebe stood in her sister's arms taking in the love coming to her. And giving just as much back. "Me too."

Piper stood at the landing watching the two of them. Another thaw in the ice she thought to herself before walking up to them. "Are we going?"

Prue and Phoebe laughed as they pulled out of the hug, but Prue kept her arm around her littlest sister. "We are going."

The music soothed away the troubles of the old year. That was what it was for. Toss out the old and Ring in the new. But as the midnight hour approached all four sisters sat beside one another. Reflecting on what had happened to them this past year and since they became witches.

Prue reached over and pulled Piper and Paige into a hug as they all watched Phoebe dancing with yet another guy. But it was then that Prue saw him. She felt her protective instincts kick in as she pulled back.

"Um guys I think we have a problem."

Piper followed Prue's gaze and spotted him standing at the rear of the club. "So."

"Let's get him." Paige said as she started towards him.

"Wait what about Phoebe?" Piper started but it was too late, the demon had already spotted them.

"To late. Come on." Prue grabbed their hands and took off after the demon.

Phoebe watched them all leave. She had to time this right to make it work, she was certain of that.

She emerged from the back door to see her sister facing off to the demon. "Change one thing that is all it will take. But it has to be the right thing." Phoebe said to herself as she watched the demon face off towards Paige.

"Time to die witches."

As the energy bolt left his hands Phoebe leaped in front of it putting herself between it and Paige.

"Phoebe! " Piper cried out not noticing the bolt coming towards her and Prue.

Phoebe felt the bits of gravel cutting into her flesh. What happened? She slowly pushed herself up from the ground as she looked over at her sister. Paige was lying lifelessly against the brick wall, as Prue and Piper lay beside each other. The look of death on their faces.

She crawled slowly and numbly towards Paige. This didn't happen. She was to stop it. Save Paige and it would end. Save the sister new to your heart. She had it figured out. As she crumbled as she held Paige in her arms. Her cries lost as the clock struck midnight to start a New Year.
